Greetings
It has been 20 years since NALG Japan was established in 1994. There are 21 branches and more than 1000 members have formed and joined across the nation over the last 20 years.
In 2016, we will have the 24th WALG Championship in Miyazaki, Japan, 19 years after the 11th WALG was held in 1997. Miyazaki is located in the southern part of Japan (20 in the Map below). The four golf courses featured in the Championship are all used for the nation’s professional and amateur tournaments.
Miyazaki is a peaceful agricultural and farming prefecture. There also are a lot of cultural places to visit. The food is good and the people are kind and friendly. I believe you will enjoy staying in Miyazaki. You will be received by the Miyazaki residents as well as the NALG Japan with a heartful welcome.
Recently, we have had some difficulties in passing on our association to the younger generation. Many countries like ours’ are facing the aging of our members. In the interest of recruiting younger golfers, thanks to development of Information Technology, we have renewed the Website of NALG Japan to offer attractive information including NALG Japan and WALG Championships. Our Website also includes many photos and precious memories of WALG championships beginning from 1994 in Taiwan. You might find yourself or your old friends in the pages. If you are interested in finding out more about Japanese culture, please take a look at “About Japan” and explore our Website as well.
We are looking forward to seeing you in 2016!
